It's amazing to me that Chewy's bagels are more expensive than Essa-a-bagel on W 32nd street in New York City. It's an odd LCOL city item flipped on its head.

Because it's a specialty luxury item here and a run of the mill item in NYC

That's a reasonable way to think of it, and I'd think of them as a luxury item if they were the quality of an ess-a-bagel bagel.

ok, purporting to be a luxury item? I clearly need to try essa bagel. Had Russ and daughter bagel this summer, and it was really disappointing. I used to love H&H way back
